pwinnall Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Hi, me being cheap have got a set of 34mm AI rings and was going to sleeve it down to 30mm for a night force. Is nylon ok to use as sleeves? It is industrial type nylon. Or should I use aluminium? Thanks phil. Ps. Its only for a .260 rem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stag Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 I had a customer with a 26mm scope tube, I used 30mm rings with black Delrin inserts. I left a small shoulder on eachinsert to stop any possibilty of the insert moving forward in the rings. I found that I only needed to make one cut in the inserts and I was able to slip the insert over the scope, as the reduction is the same, i.e. 4mm you should be able to do the same. The rifle was a stalker weight 6.5 x 55mm the mod is still performing perfectly OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

white van man Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Hi Phil, Yes I have had nylon turned down from 34mm to 30mm for my Yukon Ranger mounted on a .221 fireball. It works OK just made one cut through ring. Optilocks are like this so why not. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejg223 Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Delrin has the disadvantage to flow under pressure. Might not be much. Nylon has the disadvantage to take up water in moist conditions and dry out in dry conditions. Volume changes slightly. In the case of the rings I don't think one would notice. I would go Nylon if Peek or other snazzy materials would not be available. edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
